WOULD YOU SACRIFICE AN ENTIRE CITY TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE?
On a secluded island in the Arctic Circle, a troubled man sees a world that has lost its way and feels compelled to change that. He plans to wield the formidable power of a mysterious artifact to reshape the moral fabric of eight billion unsuspecting souls—knowing that his actions will wipe out the inhabitants of an entire city.
David Skye and Jade “Epiphany” Hendrix set out to stop him and save the lives that would be lost if he were to succeed. Their efforts to do that are complicated by Kari Salversen, a dedicated police detective with the Norwegian Police Service. She believes David and Epiphany are involved in a recent string of deadly attacks and is determined to apprehend them.
A reckoning of souls is quickly approaching, as the battle for humanity unfolds in the snowy, arctic fjords of Norway, and the vast spirit realms of the Otherworlds. The possibility of a peaceful future for billions of souls and the lives of tens of thousands of innocent people are both at stake. In a clash that pits two opposing sides against each other, which one is on the more righteous path?

Beyond
thick veils of falling snow, a darkness awaited. There was no avoiding it, no
turning back. David Skye had an uneasy feeling about what he’d find, yet he
pushed forward anyway. Visibility worsened with each pass of the wiper blades
as they swished from side to side, leaving smears of frozen snow across the
windshield. He wrapped his fingers tightly around the steering wheel, doing his
best to keep the vehicle from veering off the slick, snow-covered road. David
desperately wanted to press down harder on the accelerator, but he thought
better of it as he fought to guide the Toyota 4Runner
along the deserted stretch of highway that
hugged the northern coastline of Tjeldøya Island.
“There
it is, up ahead, on the right,” Epiphany said.
The
sound of her voice momentarily broke David’s concentration. The silhouette of
the old church, its spire reaching into the cold, cloudy sky, stood out against
the backdrop of the waterway and the mountains. A heavy, gray fog rolled in off
the water. David slowed the vehicle and slid to a stop in the church parking
area just off the main road, where he saw six or seven parked cars. The vehicle
had barely stopped when Epiphany flung open the passenger door. She leapt out
of the 4Runner, swung the door shut, and sprinted down the path leading to the
church. David watched her disappear into the snow and mist, vanishing like a
specter leaving this world for the next. A transient thought darted through his
mind. He had barely been with Epiphany for more than a few days, and given
their circumstances, he hoped they’d somehow manage to stay alive for a few
more.
This looks like a novel I will thoroughly enjoy. Thanks for sharing.
